Somehow, the phrase "librarian action figure" seems like a bit of any oxymoron. But this is coming from a guy who was expelled from the library in high school. We loved it there. Me and a few friends would hang out there in the morning before school and during the last part of lunch. We read Kerouac, Camus and ee cummings, did some homework and looked through photography magazines.

I can relate to this Nancy Pearl figure because Mrs. Reid (our librarian) showed us that finger many, many times. In fact, I think a librarian using the "shush" finger is the equivalent of someone else using "the" finger. Finally, she kicked us out for a week. That was a tough week, but we survived, and we returned with a bit more respect for the silent sanctity of the Library.

What fun! I like the composition here and the focus vs. out-of-focus qualities.

I love the idea of the 365 project. I'm new to Flickr, but I'll have to check out more of the group photos. Does it just start on January 1 or can you begin at any point in the year and just keep going?
